Patented Jan. 10, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JOSE! HAL-LEE, OF WIESDORF-ON-THE-RHINE, AND CARL TAUBE, OF LEVERKUSEN- ON-THE-RHINE, GililRll/JIANY, ASSIGNORS T0 GENERAL ANILINE WORKS, INC., OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE AZO DYESTUFFS ON THE FIBER AND NEW COMPOSITIONS 0F MATTER Ho Drawing. Application filed March 1, 1929, Serial No. 343,843, and in Germany March 24, 1928.

The present invention relates to the manufacture of azo dyestuffs on the fiber and to new compositions of matter suitable for preparing said dyestuffs.

According to the present inventlon, the condensation products of diazo compounds containing no sulfonic and carboxylic acid groups with a secondary amine of the formula:

\B2 wherein R and R stand for alkyl, aralkyl or cycl-ohexyl, or R and R jointly stand for a pentamethylene chain, for example, d1- methylamine, diethylamine, piperidlne, cyclohexyl-alkyl-amine, are used for producing azo dyestufi's on the fiber, according to the printing process, especially on the vegetable fiber. The condensation products from the diazo compounds and the secondary amines are obtainable according to the process described by Bayer and .laeger in Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschatt, vol. 8, pages 148 and 893 and by Wallach in Lleblgs Annalen der Chemie vol. 235, page 233, by diazotizing in the usual manner an aromatic amino compound with hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite, and adding slowly the diazo solution to a solution of the secondary amine, advantageously with the addition of a caustic alkali, while stirrin eventually whlle cooling. The new con ensation products separate in a crystalline form, or 1n form of oils which on cooling solidify. They are generally white to yellowish colored, crystallizing substances with a low melting point, and can be distilled. The condensation products used for the purpose of our invention may be illustrated by the general formula:

R1 RN=NN/ wherein R stands for an aromatic residue containing no sulfonic acid and no carboxylic acid groups, and R and R stand for alkyl, ar'alkyl or cyclohexyl, or R and R jointly stand for a pentamethylene chain.-

All these compounds possess the important property of undergoing no decomposition in Water or organic solvents, even at 100 0., while they are decomposed quantitatively into their constituents even by cold dilute acids.

According to our invention the above identified condensation products are used for preparing dyes on the fiber according to the printing process. The printing paste used for the purpose of our invention is prepared by mixing together about equimolecular quantities of a diazo-condensation product and a coupling component free from a sulfonic and .carboxylic acid group for producing azo dyestufi's, especially a 2.3-hydroxynaphthoic acid arylide, adding to the mixture caustic soda lye in a quantity suiiicient for dissolving the coupling component and making up the mixture to a printing paste in the usual manner by adding thereto a thickening agent, such as starch and gum tragacanth and the necessary quantity of Water and if desired, Turkey red oil. The fiber is printed in the usual manner with th? s printing paste, then the fiber is dried, steamed and treated for some time in a bath containing a weak organic acid, and, if desired, Glaubers salt. Generally we carry out the developing process by treating the printed cotton in a bath containing about 510% of formic acid or acetic acid and 10% Glaubers salt at elevated temperature, say at temperatures between 5090 C.

The invention is illustrated by the following examples, without being restricted thereto:

Ewample I.11 parts by weight of 5-nitro 2 methoxy 1 benzene azo-dimethylamine, 15 parts by weight of 2.3-hydroxynaphthoyl-p-anisidine, 10 parts by weight of caustic soda lye of 38 B., 30 parts by weight of Turkey red oil, 600 parts by weight of a starch-gum tragacanth thickening agent and 337 parts by weight of water are made into a paste; with this paste cotton is printed in the usual manner, then the cotton is dried for a short time, steamed and introduced into a bath of 80 0. containing in a liter 50 parts by weight of formic acid and 100 parts by weight of Glaubers salt. Then the cotton is rinsed and dried. A powerful bordeau is obtained of excellent fastness properties.

Example 2-14 parts by weight of a-anthraquinone-aZo-dimethylamine, 15 parts by weight of 2.3-hydroxy-naphtholy-a-naphthylamine, 30 parts of Turkey red oil and 10 parts by weight of caustic. soda lye of 3, B6. are made up to a paste with a starchgum tragacanth thickening agent as described in Example 1. The dyestuil is developed in the same manner as described in Example 1. A red is obtained which is fast to a boiling soap-bath.

Example 3.1000 parts by weight of the printing paste contain besides the usual quantity of a starch-gum tragacanth thickening agent and water 19 parts by weight of 3.3 dilnethoxydiphenyl 4.4'-diazo-piperidide, 26 parts by weight of 2.3-hydroxynaplithoic acid anilide, 20 parts by weight of canstic soda lye of 38 Be. and 30 parts by weight of Turkey red oil. With this paste cotton is printed in the usual manner and developed as described in Example 1. A blue is obtained.

Example l-.-45 parts by weight of 5-nitro-2-methoxy-l-benzene-azo-dimethylaminc, 30 parts by weight of di-acetoacetic acid-otolidide, 25 parts by weight of caustic soda lye of 38 136.. 25 parts by weight of Turkey red oil and parts by weight of water are made to a paste. parts of this paste are mixed with 900 parts of starch-gum tragacanth. With the paste thus obtained cotton is printed, and the dyeing is developed as described in Example 1. A deep reddishyellow is obtained.

If the di-acetoacetic acid-o-tolidide is substituted by ,B-naphtbol, a red is obtained. If

apyrazolone, for example, methylphenylpyrazolone, is used, a yellow is obtained.
